Hey all! Gotta question I was hoping you guys could help with. I was planning to start the Get Big diet next week in a new bulking program (I’m only about 6’, 160lbs, with about 12-15% BF and 3 years serious training experience), but I notice that in this diet only .8-1 g of protein/lb of body wt. are advised, whereas most other stuff I’ve read in T-mag indicates at least 1.5g of protein/lb of body wt. Should I up the protein content of the diet? Also, going by Massive Eating recommendations, I should eat about 3700 cal, but Get Big recommends only about 3100 (of which only 21% would come from protein by the criteria given in the article). Massive eating seems to take into account more metabolic factors, should I go with 3700 to start, or go with the lower value and work up? Thanks for any advice you can offer. T-mag rocks!
When i did this diet i went from 150 to 181 in 3 months. But i gained a shitload of fat. I would recomend that you subtract about 100carbs and add about 100 grams protien.
Good idea, thanks. How much of the 31 lbs gained did you keep, or are you still cutting?
